GENEVA: The World Health Organization, which faced fierce US criticism over its handling of the coronavirus crisis, launched an independent panel on Thursday to review its response to the pandemic.

At their annual assembly in May, WHO member states agreed to an independent probe into the UN agency’s coronavirus response, following repeated US attacks. It said the investigation should probe “the actions of WHO and their timelines pertaining to the Covid-19 pandemic”. “Make no mistake: the greatest threat we face now is not the virus itself — rather, it’s the lack of leadership and solidarity at the global and national levels,” he said.

At least 12,066,880 cases of coronavirus have been registered in 196 countries and territories. Of these, at least 6,431,400 are now considered recovered.
